Real Salt Lake signs on as Inaugural Client

Press Release – Friday, November 30th, 2018

For Immediate Release

Washington, DC | Sacramento, CA – The Soccer Syndicate is proud to announce our first club partner, Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer, in a series of upcoming client announcements. We are excited to welcome such a successful and progressive club to our client list. Their sterling track record in youth development and player identification aligns perfectly with our company’s vision.

Real Salt Lake joined MLS as an expansion team in 2005 and has quickly built a franchise designed for sustained success with playoff appearances in 9 of their last 11 regular seasons, culminating in them lifting the 2009 MLS Cup after winning the league championship in only their 5th season. They have been at the forefront of innovation in technical development and recruitment as a main tenant of their competitive strategy since they joined MLS as its smallest market. They remain laser focused on their forward thinking approach, unafraid to incorporate out-of-the-box thinking, to remain competitive within MLS. The Soccer Syndicate is excited to blend seamlessly into that sporting culture and help continue their success.

“Real Salt Lake was a pioneer in creating a youth development pathway for out-of-market players and has invested heavily in player identification for their residential academy, first in Arizona, and now housed alongside their professional teams in Herriman, Utah. They are an ideal partner for us with aligned goals of providing opportunities for undiscovered talent in underserved communities. Their belief in our abilities and the value we provide help to validate our model and vision for scouting talent on this continent. With their vision and guidance, we look forward to a long and burgeoning relationship” said CEO Scott Rezendes.

The Soccer Syndicate seeks to leverage the power of our collective network to professionally live scout the elite levels of soccer in North America for our global clientele. Our business model positions us as the first independent, live scouting company in North America that is a cost effective solution for clubs.
